LFOs 1 & 2 each have two outputs, which means that you can
use the same LFO with different phase for different purposes.
The parameters available in the Modifier Matrix are marked with
an asterisk*.

Speed*
The speed of the LFO also known as Rate.
Range: Off - 0.050Hz-19.2 Hz.
Depth*
The depth of the LFO also known as Width.
Range 0-100%.
Tempo
Sets the LFO speed’s relationship to the global tempo (tapped on
the Tempo key). The subdivisions available are, 16/1 (16 bars for
performing one period), 8/1, 4/1, 2/1, 1/1, and 1/2-1/32 in
straight, dotted and triplet notes - 1/4 equals BPM (beats per
minute). When the Tempo parameter is set to “Ignored” the LFO
will not respond to the global tempo.
Curve
Select the curve that you would like on the current LFO. Choose
between: Square, Sine, Triangle and Random.

Pulsewidth*
Controls the division of the upper and lower parts of the current
curve, e.g. if Pulsewidth is set to 25% using a Square curve, the
upper half of the curve will be on for 25% of the time, while the
other curves will repsond differntly.

A Pulsewidth of 100% using a Triangle will create a
sawtooth waveform.

MODIFIERS

Modifier

Connect the ENV detector to a level parameter to create
an extra gate.

ADSR 1&2

ADSR is an abbreviation of Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release.
ADSRs are used to play short control signal sequences triggered
by the audio input. You set up a number of terms to describe the
curve of the control signal, and a trigger level also known as
Threshold.

Attack
The Attack or rise time of the curve i.e. how long it takes the
control signal to go from minimum to maximum value i.e. 0-100.
Decay
Sets how long it takes the control signal to fall back from
maximum to Sustain level.
Sustain
The amount of time that the control signal will stay at the Sustain
level.
Sustain level
The level that the control signal will stay at during the Sustain
period.
Release
The amount of time that it takes the control signal to fall from
Sustain level to zero. Release time will take over when the
Sustain time has expired (depending on the trig mode setting).
Retrig (Start/Stop)*
Sets the retrig possibility on or off. The ADSR can always be
trigged via the Modifier Matrix (called “Start/Stop”). If Retrig is
set to off, the ADSR can not be retrigged during the sequence.

LFO 1&2

LFO is an abbreviation of Low Frequency Oscillator. The LFOs
send out control values between 0 and 100 at speeds between
0.050Hz and 18.3 Hz.
The LFOs can be used for various purposes, for example you can
connect a pan parameter and create an extra panner or modulate a
filter to create a sweeping motion.
